Gwyneth Paltrow has said she thinks it’s twice as hard to be the child of famous people in the acting business as she discussed nepotism with another child of famous people, Hailey Bieber.

Oscar-winning Gwyneth, who is the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and producer-director Bruce Paltrow, even led a comment about Hailey’s family at the top of their chat together, exclaiming: ‘I think I know your dad and your uncles!’

Hailey is the daughter of Usual Suspects star Stephen Baldwin, and niece to his brothers, Daniel, William and Alec – all actors.

She replied to the 49-year-old that that was her ‘favourite thing that people say to me’.

Gwyneth actually worked with Hailey’s dad too, which she confirmed, on the 1994 independent flick Mrs Parker and the Vicious Circle.

Guesting on Hailey’s YouTube series Who’s in my Bathroom?, talk turned to nepotism and Hailey, 25, asked for the Shakespeare In Love star’s take.

‘I think it’s fair – as the child of somebody, you get access that other people don’t have, so the playing field is not level in that way,’ Gwyneth pointed out, entirely fairly.

She then added: ‘However, I really do feel that once your foot is in the door, which you unfairly got in, then you almost have to work almost twice as hard and be twice as good.

‘People are ready to pull you down and say you don’t belong there and you’re only thee because of your dad or your mum or whatever the case may be.’

Elsewhere in the interview, the Goop entrepreneur had also confided that ‘it all started happening quite quickly’ for her as a performer.

‘I had a lot of success really young, which was exciting and dauting and really wonderful,’ Gwyneth enthused.

Hailey has travelled down the same path as Gwyneth this year in founding her own brand.

Rhode is a skincare line that the model released back in June.
